My kitchenaid dishwasher leaves food particles on the dishes. There's supposed to be an "Ultra-fine filter" under the spray arm. Perhaps it is clogged, but I don't see how to remove the spray arm so I can check it and clean it. The owner's manual is no help. Can you tell me how to do this?

My dishwasher spray arms were clogged with calcium buildup so I cleaned one and replaced the other. I also removed the fixed disc-shaped device underneath the lower spray arm and found the particle filter was clogged- so I cleaned it out. The dishwasher ran fine for a few times but then the filter clogged again, and again, and again. Now I need to make a routine of disassembling the parts to get at the filter every week because the filter no longer clears itself during the wash and/or emptying c

Maytag Quiet Series 300 dishwasher leaves sediment on dishes (primarily glasses) after running the Autoclean cycle. We've taken it apart, cleaned spray arms, filters, float and replaced some seals, but still have problems. We use Cascade detergent and Jet-Dry (what was recommended when we bought the dishwasher). Our water temperature is 120 degrees (maximum setting we can have without having our tankless water heater modified), but this dishwasher problem was an issue with our old tank water hea

I have a frigidaire dishwasher - model number PLDB998AC1. There are two spray arms in this dishwasher - lower and upper. The lower works fine but the upper spray arms are not spinning. There is what I think adequate water pressure coming in from the top but no movement on the upper spray arm. Here is what I know:
1) The water pressure and spray arms alternate between top and bottom.
2) The upper spray arm moves freely when I push it gently.
3) I have removed the pump and cleaned out an

I have a Frigidaire ultra quiet energy star dishwasher and the dial gets stuck halfway through the cycle. It runs all day if I'm not home. And when the dishes come out, there's bits of dirt and what looks like gritty sand stuck on all the glasses. I was going to clean the filter out but I don't know how to do that. It's a ten year old model (at least) and I have no paper information about it. Help!

I have a Precision Wash System Ultra Quiet I, model # FBD421RFR3 and something is not rinsing properly. There's a fine white powder on the dishes after the cycle. I tasted it and it doesn't exactly taste like soap (though I have tasted the soap from the box yet to compare). Some people say things about dishwasher salt or cleaning filters or the top arm not swinging. I'm a renter so I don't have the manual. If someone could point me to the most probable issue or instruct me what to do, that would

I have a KUDS03CTWHO KitchenAid dishwasher. It started not cleaning the upper tray well a few weeks ago and now the lower one is not getting cleaned very well either. I have disassembled and cleaned the 3rd level , upper and lower spray/wash arm assemblies as well as the feed tube assemble. These were not blocked or glogged.

I have a GE Profile, GSD4930X73WW, dishwasher. The upper wash arm is not spraying well at all. I checked the water line from the pump to the upper arm and it's fine. I cleared the filters and cleaned the float. I also took the inlet valve off and cleaned the screen. Although the washer works better overall, the upper arm still does not work well. Nothing appears to be in the upper arm assy to clog water from spraying out. All seems clear from the turbid sensor (next to the pump) through t

My dishwasher is not working properly, i have cleaned all the filters and spray arms, but still have food partials all over dishes.

Ld-1416T I have an LG LD-1416T dishwasher and the lower spray arm does not turn. The top arm turns and the top rack is washed well. I pulled everyting out and cleaned all the filters (which weren't that dirty) but still no luck. I could only get so much stuff out to clean before it looked like to go any further, I would need to gain access through the bottom. Are there more filters in the motor area which might need cleaning? I read that it could be the vario motor. Can I test this? and if s

My dishwasher did not clean well. I replaced the seal on the bottom spray arm. there is a wobble now. the nut does not seem to screw down tightly. there is nothing wrong with the nut, it simply does not reach. I don't know if the lower arm is supposed to wobble, or if the nut should screw down tight. I can't seem to find a picture anywhere so I can visualize exactly how the spray are fits together. Is there a diagram on line?

Dishwasher Problem... Hey, I'm sorry I can't seem to find this information anywhere else. I'm having a similar problem with my dishwasher (also a kenmore quiet guard) and I wanted to try to clean the filter. I'm not sure how to remove the lower arm of the dishwasher. There is a kind of plastic-screw in the middle of the lower arm, is that what holds it on? I'm afraid to try twisting it because I don't want to break it. How did you get it off of yours? I hope I'm not bothering you! Thank you, Je

I have a frigidaire dishwasher 4000 series aqua surge with speed clean. The small spray arm on the ceiling of the washer came off. I found it sitting on top of some cups in the top basket. There is a loose part inside the retainer in the ceiling that moves back into the retainer when I try to put the spray arm back on.
How do I fix this and how do I get the top basket out to work on it?

The top arm snaps into place. Simply unscrew the retaining clip from the ceiling of the washer. Inside of there, you will find a small white plastic clip. Make sure the two prongs are pointed down and poking out through the hole in the bottom of the ...
